[GRASSLIST:5908] loading VMAP0 data with v.in.ogr?

[Hamish]

Hi,

I'm trying to load some VMAP0 data (Digital Chart of the World) into
GRASS 6.0beta2 with v.in.ogr .. can't quite seem to get it to work.

VMAP0:
  http://www.mapability.com/info/vmap0_index.html


going back to ogrinfo, it finds the datasource but gives an "Illegal
instruction" error:

$ ogrinfo gltp:/vrf/var/local/TopoData/VMAP0/v0sas/vmaplv0/sasaus 'watrcrsl at hydro(*)_line'
Illegal instruction


I have batch renamed everything ending with a '.' in the v0sas/ tree, as
per  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.freegis/315  but still the
error. File system is local, system is Debian/testing with self compiled
OGDI driver and GDAL/OGR.


$ ls /var/local/TopoData/VMAP0/v0sas/vmaplv0/sasaus/hydro/watrcrsl.*
/var/local/TopoData/VMAP0/v0sas/vmaplv0/sasaus/hydro/watrcrsl.lft
/var/local/TopoData/VMAP0/v0sas/vmaplv0/sasaus/hydro/watrcrsl.lfx


$ ogrinfo --formats | grep OGDI
  -> "OGDI" (readonly)


any ideas? also tried 'ogrinfo -ro' with no luck.



thanks,
Hamish
